Guys, I would like to add the following commentary to the DASH which will
better reflect my thinking around this investment. The current text suggests that there is significant strategic advantage for ENA to be a participant in the fund. I do not think that is the case; however, I do see some merits in the investment based on the needs of Enron's Global Finance group. I would suggest toning down the strategic advantages and add the following: It is unlikely that given the funds target returns that the it will be an effective permanent monetization vehicle for ENA's strategic and merchant investments; however, Enron Global Finance believes that the investment is important for the following reasons: a) provides an additional "Friend of Enron" to facilitate short to medium term balance sheet and regulatory solution to highly structured commodity and capital transactions in the wholesale group; b) provides alternative sources of short term capital liquidity and c) by further developing the relationship with AIG provides collateral benefits for Enron's overall Global Finance capability and business. ENA would have a requirement that this investments be hedged through Raptor and be managed by the Enron Global Finance Group. Regards Delainey
